    “if there has been a change in environment that a population has experienced, for example, people have shifted to agriculture or begun living close to domesticated animals, or moved to a new environment from a cold place to a warm place or a low place to a high place, then there's pressure on the population to adapt to these new stresses, these new needs.”
